Ship Facilities

Dining

Dining onboard Carnival Elation can be an experience just as adventurous as the destinations you get to visit. Boasting cuisine from around the world and a mix of casual and more formal eateries, you’ll be spoilt for choice all throughout your cruise. There’s even room service for those who feel a little too relaxed to leave their room.

Complimentary dining

Inspiration Restaurant and Imagination Restaurant are the two main dining rooms on the ship, the latter being for those with flexible dining. Dinner involves starters through to desserts and the whole experience is enhanced by entertainment in the form of singing and dancing waiters. If you’d prefer buffet-style dining and the opportunity to fill up one plate after another, look no further than Tiffany’s Restaurant, offering everything from comfort food to fresh salads and rich chocolate desserts. The food stations even have a late-night opening, perfect for all the midnight snackers out there!

For family favourites and delicious comfort foods, head to Guy’s Burger Joint and enjoy your dinner by the pool, grab a slice of pizza to go from Pizza Pirate or get a taste of fresh Mexican flavours at BlueIguana Cantina.

Speciality dining
